Jan,

Thanks for the positive comments.  However, the link you refer to is
very outdated (2007).  If you check:

http://builder.classpath.org/japi/jdk15-classpath.html

you will find results against the current version of GNU Classpath,
rebuilt several times daily.
Links to this are available on the GNU Classpath homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath

getName() is implemented, that's why it throws a NullPointerException
rather than not compiling.  Dhaval, please file this as a bug at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla
